In addition to a valid ID card issued by your institute, you'll have to provide the address and ID proof of your parents (in most cases Aadhaar card will do) just to make sure that you're taking the SIM card under your parent's supervision. Also, carry your own ID card (apart from college ID card) and address proof along with a passport size photo.

Under the Student SIM scheme, Reliance Jio is offering 25% additional Wi-Fi data benefits on every recharge you make. For those who are not in the know, Wi-Fi data is nothing but the amount of internet you can use while you're connected to a public Jio Hotspot.
